PRATTVILLE HIGH FORMS'GRIDIRON GIRLS' PROGRAM

Prattville High’s football team will have a group of young ladies associated with the team this fall. The girls will not strap on chin straps or helmets, but will be there to help in any way possible. Antonio “Bam” Richards, offensive line coach of the high school football team and Jessica Rape, Valerie Slay, Sarah Jones, and Jennifer Ellis, all teachers at the high school have volunteered as advisors for the program.

The 27 young female students will serve as ambassadors for the football program.

The group will be called Gridiron Girls. Coach Richards will head up the program as the “CEO” of the organization.

“We will serve the football program with various programs to promote Prattville High football, such as community services, things like “Adolph A Mile.” We plan to take the program into other schools as “Little Sister” Programs,

“We will be at the Autauga County Fair and other events in the community. With this program we will be able to further enhance the success of Prattville High’s football programs. It is a program that is strictly volunteers that will be associated as extracurricular activities. Certainly it will help the participants to be successful adults in life,” Richards stated.

“We will meet during activity periods at school as well as after school. All our programs will be planned in cooperation with the school as well as organizations within the community. We want to encourage the girls to be role models and leaders by example of our actions,” Jentzen Crook (President) and Logan Glover (Vice-President) said.
